A maypole motif set off the individual tables. Sam Lang, toast- master, headed the eve - ning's program of toasts readings , and musical aglections. SENIOR PLAY HELD Thrills, chills, and laughs characterized the evening performance of the 1945 Senior Play , 'Hobgoblin House.'Direa. ted by Mrs. Betty Looney the play was pronounced a fitting climax to the dramatic productions of the Senior Class. 'BASHFUL BOBBY' RAISES ROOF Rated by local critics as an outstan ding performanco,the Ju:J nior Class production of 'Bashful Bobby' on the evening of lar. 9, 1945, eighth grade on our fi - nal step in elementary learning, there wasn't a class anywhere that was as good or outstanding as ours.At least, that's what WE said: That fall the more athletic minded he -men of our class played a football game with La- Conner . Not knowing too well the principles of the game, we were slated for a trouncing , both physically and mentally. About the time Hall- oween came around we were feeling very mis - chievous . Of course, we were little angels , and wouldn't do anything out of the way! The follow- ing day the goal post was found shoved over. Mr. Taylor, our advisor, knowing that we just gouldn't have done it , issued orders that we had better see that they were put back so the wind wouldn't blew them over again next Halle -' weenl Well, spring came a:J long and the boys star birlse we en- around fought ted looking at Yes , even then joyed having them In fact , we even over them at times! By this time we were ready and willing to en- ter high school. To be sure the Sophs liked ue! But it didn't take us long to get into the swing of things , and we were always the life and fun of anything that went on. During our second year we really began to take part in school activi - ties. Quite a few of our athletes made the foot-' ball , basketball , ,and baseball teams.

A huge crowd gathered at Oak Harbor High School the evening of March 29 to enjoy gales of hearty laughter. Yes, it was the Junior class presentation of nIt's a Great Life.n An Haunt-eomplexn, a mix-up of dates, and a Ulady-liken impersonation kept the plot running smoothly. . The cast was as follows: Tom y Wilson, Billy Whitey Ted Stokes, Norman Dyer, Mr. Charles Wilson, Art Langg Mrs. Elouise Wilson, Joanne Sheckelsg Miss Gertrude Harris, Betty Wheeler, Marie George, Betty Devriesg Miss Alstead Billings, Helen Hunskorg Ther- esa Gant, Harriet Langg Wilbert Wiggins, Jim Walkerg Muscles O'Rourke, Paul Lang, Mary Wilson, Connie Marting Director, Mrs. Betty Looney. 1 so 23 O LHH04' o'm A tremendous transformation took place in the high school gym, December 14, when the spirit of the sea dog' came to life, giving a touch of Davy Jones' locker to the surround- ings. A local fisherman donated the sea net which had en- Atangled an octopus at one end of the gym. Mermaids and fish swam around the hulkhcads. A treasure chest amply filled with coins provided hy the dancing couples was guarded by the impressive figure of a deep sea diver. The stern of the flag ship U.S.S. 4'7 was decommissioned temporarily to serve as the bar which provided coke for the thirsty crowd. The orchestra played pala music which gave a salty atmosphere,leaving all of the patrons with the well- known tang of the sea. 24- 'S Al' .2 , M MEMORIAL STADIUM The southeastern corner of the grade school grounds has been rad d 1 g e n preparation for the Oak Harbor Memorial Stadium. The Associated Student Body, the Chamber of Commerce, and various or- ganizations of the town are sponsoring this project. The high school has promised to raise S1000 by the end of the school year. Classes and clubs have earned the money by giv- ing banquets, selling lunches, selling purple and old t g pennan s, and donations. Members of the A.S.B. will contribute much time and labor toward the Stadium. The boys will haul topsoil for the field and the irls g will clear rocks off the surface. Members of the HOU Club will be responsible for digging post holes. The Memorial Stadium will trul b fi y e a tting tribute to those men and women from Oak Harbor who served their country dur- in th S ' g e econd World War. The whole progect will make necessary the expenditure of approximately 3l0,000. Present plans for the Stadium include lighting facilities for a football field d a an baseball diamond, a sprinkler system, a grandstand, and landscap- ing. Q .4 PVC 25 ga eww Back row: K.

The band pro- gressed rapidly during the school year under the leadership of Mr. C. M. Conkling. Many high school members of this organization have the privilege of wearing the music letter awarded by the Board of Control. The snappy music and highly polished instruments of the Oak Harbor High School Band will long be remembered by the students. 26 Q SQQPLT ff E?

Because of their efforts, the following team members earned letters: Howard Lang, Wesley Maylor, Martin Faber, Bud Doust, Al Grossklaus, Robert Mitchell, Kenneth Hamilton, John Robinson, Paul Lang, Jr., Bill White, Wayland Traylor, Jim Behlke, Richard Lange, Don Looff, Don Boyer, Jack Burnham, Elmer Lang, and Terry Mitchell. The football team may receive the credit for Oak Harbor High's successful sea- son, but much of it belongs to Coach Crow, who was a constant help. A HIGHLIGHTS OF HTHE BIGN GAME . The Burlington Tigers were scheduled to give the Wildcats a mauling-- but, as usual, Oak Harbor gave everyone a surprise. Most of the game was played in the shadow of the Oak Harbor goal, where countless rushes were stopped inside the one yard line. Burlington made 17 first downs while Oak Harbor made none. The Wild- cats came out snarling and went into the showers purring-- they had held the Tigers to a scoreless tie. 'ONLY TWO TEAMS SCORE AGAINST WILDCATS Concrete and Anacortes were the only teams that were able to score against the Oak Harbor Wildcats. Monroe ard Burlington were held to scoreless ties. Oak Harbor defeated all other opponents except the Anacortes Seahawks. Even though many of the first team players are graduating, Oak Harbor High is bound to have successful football teams in the future. 2B ' Bill White End .

Remembering the successful 1945 season which brought them the Island County Championship, the Wildcats are fielding a 1946 baseball team. They'll be shoot- ing for another Island County Championship and the scalps of some Skagit County teams. , The club has the strong- support of eight returning lettermen: Al Hoffman, short-stopg Rich Lange, second base, Martin Faber, third baseg Paul Lang, first base, Howard Lang, catcherg George Kam enga, Pitcher, Wes Maylor and Don Looff, outfielders. Other members of the squad are: Bud Doust, Larry Kammenga, Danny Koetje, Hans Olson, Harold Eaton, Vernon Eaton, Don Boyer, Bill Brattain, George Lam, Jim Behlke, and Don Aven. As the nAcornN goes to press Oak Harbor has handed Sedro Woolley a 2-O de- feat in the first game of the season. The climb to the championship will be a tough one--Coupeville, Langley, Anacortes, Blaine, Mt. Vernon, and Concrete must be defeated. But with Coach Crow's training, the Wildcats will surely have a successful 1946 team. 'cgrack After a lapse of several years, Oak Harbor High will have a track team. The following boys arefturning out for the 1946 season: Terry Mitchell, Bill White, Dewey Cuthbertson, Don Van Cleve, Fred Spirell, Jack Randolph, Jack Burnham, Ralph Kingma, and Hardy Gates. A The boys have received invitations to meets around the Northwest and hope to make a good showing in them.
